looking for crankshaft rebuilders

[gazza2006au]

have made atlease 10 calls to shops in sydney thats why im posting here to find someone a little further away hopefully that can do the job cant seem to find anyone in sydney who does crankshaft rebuilding for pressed together crankshafts i was even told to call motor bike shops so i did they only do single cylinders wtf? ;D anyway its off a yamaha 25hp CV
the bearings are toast on the crankshaft the conrod bearings seems to be ok i want to order the bearings from the USA and get it rebuilt over here to keep cost low

I found these guys up in Darwin when I needed a crank rebuilt for my Kawasaki three cylinder two stroke bike. They do marine as well and appear to be one of the very few who still rebuild multi cylinder two smoke motors.

Just Google Crankshaft Rebuilding Services.

Gazza,

As far as I know we have no outboard crankshaft rebuilders capable of doing hardened journals left in Australia after Paul England & Co in Melb stopped doing it. Happy to be proven wrong however.

The US is the place to get it done, or buy in a secondhand crank locally if possible or from the states.

Having said that, you can repair an outboard crank in Australia if the problem is the mains and not the big end. Big ends receive punishing reciprocal force and require hardened journals. Mains receive rotational force only so you can get away without them bring hardened.

Ideally you want them hardened but you can successfully weld, regrind and use without failure.

Cheers

Cheers thing is they dont sell this model in the US so finding parts over there is hard they do have parts with the same part numbers but who knows what will show up if anyone can find a new or second hand crank part number 69P–11400–00

I checked out his website and very interesting. I phoned him and got voicemail so waiting for a return call. He may well be very handy to know in future.

Have you tried the Uk; they may sell the model you are after? What about also trying contacting several Yamaha dealers and ask if there is an equivalent international number/part? Tthey may not sell your particular model but it may turn out to be a common identical part across several other models with only the part number changing ie for part no. 695-11400-00-00 CRANKSHAFT ASY there are several moels which it can be applied to. See here: http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-695-11400-00-00.html

Sometimes the part number only changes because of the country an item is sold in, for all other purposes they are identical. Sometimes of course it isn't but it is always worth checking out.

gazza2006au, Try these two Dave at Crankshaft Engineering Browns Plains Brisbane 07-38067488 or Serco Pty Ltd Capalaba Brisbane 07-38233833 Cranks can be Re-hardened by a process called nitriding.

[OPTI]

basically you carnt rebuild it,some pressed cranks you can buy new journals with the big end bearings,if yamaha dont sell journals which im pretty sure they dont ,you wont be able to fix it .
spray welding and re hardining has never been successful hence why no one will do it any more ,try the wreckers or maybe a new power head is a better option

[OPTI]

well go for a new crank,if not bellieu engineering on the gold coast can press the journals but guaranteed it will cost more than 400

[BM]

Gazza, yes I got a call back from the Darwin guy. He's a semi retired bloke and seems very reasonable in his pricing. He can handle motorcycle cranks and smaller hp "pressed" outboard cranks. Cannot do single piece outboard cranks.

Paul England and Co for MANY MANY years provided hardened journal resurfacing but the business was on-sold (I can check the date) and the new purchaser had a few failures as I understand it and elected to no longer provide the service. The previous owner of the business was extremely successful at rehardening cranks.

Likewise, in the US there is no problem getting cranks re-hardened.
